A rare and desirable type, not often seen on the market. It is most likely an Avar or Kuba kilim, originating from the South Caucasus or Dagestan region. This kilim features a striking design with large, multicoloured hooked motifs arranged in a bold, well-balanced composition. The light blue field adds a fresh, appealing contrast to the overall palette. Some minor black areas show slight corrosion, which is typical for its age and material. One end has had careful restoration, including some repiling and older repairs.
